Kenny Scharf — Frosty Mint
Kenny Scharf

Frosty Mint

1989

Kenny Scharf's *Frosty Mint* is a vibrant and playful work rendered in oil and acrylic on linen canvas, showcasing the artist's signature blend of pop surrealism and psychedelic imagery. Cool mint tones punctuate a lively composition filled with Scharf's characteristic cartoonish forms and cosmic motifs, evoking a sense of whimsical otherworldliness. The work is presented in an artist's frame, which Scharf himself has transformed into an extension of the artwork, further blurring the boundary between the painting and its environment.
